"Trees - Vincent, like many other artists, liked to paint the same or similar subject many times. You might think of his paintings with nights full of concentric stars, or vases full of golden sunflowers. You might not think about trees, all kinds of trees, from his iconic cypress to almond groves, stately pines to tangled forests. He and I share that love of trees, so this is the spot in the collection where I allowed our loves to intertwine. I chose to paint many of my own ...favorite trees, but using a different one of my own signature glass techniques for each piece. The resulting series serves as both a nod to Vincent's beloved tree subjects and a technical retrospective of my own explorations in glass process. Trees are sacred, essential guardians of the earth, purifiers of the air, and beautiful beyond measure. Save the trees, save the earth, save ourselves.'

"One warm afternoon, I photographed water moving across mosaic tiles covering the entire surface of a swimming pool. When the light seemed just about right, the moving water appeared to fracture and reshape the pattern of mosaics creating the images found here. Water was very much an artist working with me creating these 5 unique 'Water Portraits'.
